Hardwood Leaves

[flying ipis]

Are all species of hardwood leaves safe for roaches like mahogany, teak, etc? Mahogany is toxic to mammals but I'm not sure if roaches are immune to it.

Those are probably safe- I would test a couple and see. Ordinarily any hardwood with a strong aroma like eucalyptus is toxic to insects, but very few hardwoods are that I know of. I do not know of mahogany leaves and thier relation to roaches. Please try it out and post your results.
